The Most Valuable Book.

The Medico Lauren tian museum of Florence, Italy, has 4n its possession what is said to be the most valuable book In the world. This book Is called the “Codex Amiatinus” and is pronounced by some scholars to be perhaps the oldest and by all odds the best ancient Latin manuscript of the Bible. The work is believed to have been copied from the translation by St Jertgne, which he made direct from early Greek and Hebrew scripts. Its origin is placed in thi ninth century, and is thought to have been the handiwork of English priests.

New Routes for Parcel Post Expected to x Lower Food Costs

w

ITHIN, perhaps, the next few months motortruck parcel post routes will be in operation in various parts of the country, aggregating between 3,000 and 4,000 miles. One chain of motor routes will extend from Portland, Me., to New Orleans. Another will cover much of a large stretch

of territory in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and West Virginia. On the Pacific coast routes will be established between San Francisco and Sacramento, Cal., via Stockton and Fruitdale, a distance of 125 miles, and - between Redlands and Los Angeles, Cal., via Ontario and Pomona, Cal., a distance of 76 miles. It is the belief of the post office department that the operation of these routes, and others to be established, will materially aid in the distribution and in lowering the cost of food products. The existing law does not provide for the employment of governmentowned motortrucks or rural delivery routes, nor does ‘ it require the rural carriers to use motorvehicles. In the star route service, however, where the mall is carried under contract, a recent law permits the post office department to designate the sort of vehicles to be employed, and in awarding new contracts the department will specify that motortrucks shall be employed on all routes where the roads are such as to admit of their use. These contracts are advertised for bidders, and where payment asked for the service is deemed to be excessive the department is authorized to provide government-owned motortrucks and to employ drivers for the operation of these routes. > A further extension of the employment of government-owned motorvehicles by its adoption for the parcel

post service of the rural routes, will be made whenever congress enacts a law now pending for that purpose. Operating under the law as it now stands as applied to the star route service, motortruck routes, some under contract and some operated with government-owned motortrucks, are in process of establishment as follows: New York city to Port Jervis, N. Y., via Belleville, Montclair and Dover, N. J 7, ficllSjan^eeach way of 86 miles; New York city to Hammonton, N. Y„ via Mount OHVe, Bordentowq, Trenton, Princeton and Elizabeth, N. j., a distance each way of 114 miles; New York city to Easton, Pa., via Montclair, Morristown and Spmervllle, N. J„ a distance each way of 94 miles; New York city to New-Milford, Conn., via Pawling, Yorktown Heights, Briar Cliff Yonkers, N. Y., a distance each way of 91 miles; New York city to Hartford, Conn., via Whiteplains, R. Y., Danbury aqd Waterbury, Conn., a distance each way of 105 miles; New York city to Port Jervis, N. Y., via Goshen and Suffern, N. Y., a distance each way of 84 miles. Other routes being established are: Philadelphia, Pa., to Easton, Pa., via Hallowell and Doylestown, Pa., a distance each way of 56 miles; Easton to Reading, Pa., via Bethlehem and Allentown, Pa., a distance each way of 51

The Iron Age.

The best Informed sources give the period from 2000 to 2500 B. C. as marking the transition from bronze to iron, declares the Christian Herald. Pref, J. B. Wilson, in a recent article In the Princeton theological Review, presents pretty nearly all of the available evidence on the subject. The “iron age” seems to have begun earliest in Asia Minor, where Iron was used for various purposes as early as 2500 B. C. The people of NlppuV used Iron knives and arrowheads as early as 2000 B. C,

FRICTION IN FAMILY IS FATAL

Unpleasantness in Home Creates Intangible Impalpable Atmosphere, Driving Children Away. A few sarcastic words from the father, a sharp retort from the mother, that was all. But was it all? What about the effect upon Johnnie and Susie, sitting there quietly at their evening lessons?' 1 And did neither “parent notice that Thoipas slipped out of the house at the first intimation that there was to be a quarrel between father and mother? For quarrel it really was, although brief and clothed in the language of educated, respectable persons; and long after these harsh and unkind words had been spoken the atmosphere of the family living room remained charged with an emotional disturbance in which no one could concentrate his mind upon his reading or study. \ Family friction Is always fatal to happiness,\ says Mary A. Lasalle in Mother’s Magazine, and when there are children in the home it is almost sure to work Irreparable harm upon their minds and souls. One of the most powerful pauses of the exodus of young people from their homes at an y age when they are not

fitted to enter upon the work of life is friction in the family. Young people are by nature loyal to their parents and it is almost never that a young person will give as a reason for his leaving home the fact that his father and mother quarreled or nag at each other or do not agree upon pertain points. Friction in the home creates an intangible. ifhpalpable atmosphere in which the sensitive child chokes and pants for the free air of happiness, or Is warped and stunted mentally and morally.

Quite recently Bessie, an inquisitive little miss, was out walking with an aunt who weighed something in excess of 200 pounds. “When good people die they go to heaven, don’t they, auntie?” the little girl inquired innocently. t “Yes, ■? “And they /naviewings and fly all around everywteefe, too, don’t they?” she persisted. “Yes,” returned the aunt. “W£ll, auntie,” the little child finally said, “I bet when youdie and get wings and fly all about folks Will think you’re a Zeppelin."

Salmon for Eastern Streams.

Many thousands of humpback salmon, native of the Puget sound, where they were collected by the government two years ago, entered Pembroke, Denhys, Penobscot. St Croix and other rivers in eastern Maine this autumn as part of the fisheries bureau plan of stocking the East with the pride of the Pacific coast catci}. The bureau's investigation shows that the humpback in its new environment retains its Pacific ocean habit of proceeding to the ocean Shortly after it begins to swim, and returning to the rivers to spawn and die when two years old. The government has made annual shipments of eggs of the humpback salmon across the continent for the past five years, drawing the consignments alternately from Washington and Alaska.
